I can see depricating an item in an approved dictionary. DDLm has
not been approved and it is clear that the xref section cannot be
meaningfully used in its present form. Anyone using the posted draft
dictionary must understand that changes will be made and that any
development work done using this dictionary may be nonconforming. The need to avoid dataname duplication is a red herring. We are redefining items in the draft database, thus effectively using the same name to refer to a value with different attributes from those in the original draft. But it is not worth getting too hung up on this. Deprecating an item that has never been used does no harm, but it clutters up the dictionary unnecessarily and unless we arrange for the item to self destruct after five years, it will remain forever. So let's make sure we get the concepts and code correct for the things that matter. David Herbert J. Bernstein wrote: Dear Colleagues, |
